Race Car Vehicle Dynamics Rate Of Steering Input
Race Car Vehicle Dynamics - Basic Race Car Dynamics - Hands-On Tech Guide
Illustration 3: This graph shows the speed at which one driver turns the steering wheel versus another driver. Both turn the wheel 90 degrees, but the driver represented by the dashed line takes more than one half of a second, while the driver shown by the solid line takes just more than one tenth of a second for the same motion in the same turn. The first, slower-moving driver is considered smooth. The dashed-line driver's angle is abrupt and will most certainly upset the handling balance of the car more than is desirable. It is important for the driver to use smooth motions and applications of the controls to minimize upsetting the balance of the car due to abrupt motions. View Related Article
